Before I close this page down and wrap up this chapter, I just wanted to say a deeply heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported me and my business over the years.

It has been an absolute privilege working with you all and supporting so many incredible people through your most trying times. Your trust, warmth, and encouragement have meant the world to me.

You have all been nothing short of amazing—please keep being that way! ❤️

While I wait and decided what to do with my career (and treatment plan!), I am open to volunteer opportunities! I already have a few lined up, from talks to buddying at wellbeing events. If you have any events that may need support, please get in touch, happy to see if I can support you and your organisation. Attached is just one of the events I am supporting.

It’s very normal to experience a whole range of emotions when you or a loved one has cancer. Shock, fear, anger, sadness, even guilt are experienced by nearly everyone with cancer at some point. Th…

Quick rehab video, why do this? It keeps me "compliant" 🙃. If I didn't make myself go in front of the camera, I wouldn't hold myself accountable to do the exercises. Yes, I am one of those "thanks for the leaflet.... throws over the shoulder" type of person. Which is why I understand how hard rehabilitation and motivation is, but I also know I need to kick my own butt! No-one else is responsible for my health, just me. So to those who struggle with motivation and don't like rehabilitation exercises. Pump the music up, do it instead of something even more boring, find your way!!!! Or just take 6 mins, if you are a breast cancer patient who has been provided with the Breast Cancer Care leaflet and join me! https://youtu.be/B5G9wOmYouo?si=BTPUx0dkeWTbjI-o

Recovery from surgery, tools I used coming round from serious full body shakes in recovery ward - Emmett technique "recovery" series, EFT central tapping and connective breath work. Once out of recovery ward, lots of water and then nibbling protein, chicken salad and a nut bar. Mentally stayed away from technology and stared into space with deep breating (my meditation isn't honed!) kept the limbs moving as much as I could for lymphatic movement. popped the eye mask on and slept as much as you can in hospital! Had to sculpt an alternative to a post surgery bra, as my ribs don't like anything touching them, so made some supportive kinesio strips alongside some lymphatic draining strips to both reduce swelling and redirect. Now home trying to cleanse the liver and kidneys and moving without overstretching! This post isn't about sympathy, it's about understanding the role of self care in recovery. How can we empower patients to understand their role in their own rehabilitation without over whelm? Now where did I put my post op p**p stool! 🙄😍

Part of surgery prep is your emotional well being ☺️. All other aspects are important nutrition, hydration, skin care and range of movement too! But being with family, next to nature and taking time to breathe is a great way of getting ready 😁
